Description
A 30-item diagnostic for the summer program that screens all five Grade 5 NCSCOS math domains. Item counts mirror the NC End-of-Grade weight distribution (Fractions heaviest at ~40%, Base Ten ~27%, Measurement/Geometry ~21%, Operations & Algebraic Thinking ~11%) so results predict EOG performance and pinpoint reteaching needs. Multiple-choice and matching only; distractors target common misconceptions.
Learning Objectives
-
Write, evaluate, and interpret numerical expressions and analyze numerical patterns.
-
Explain the base-ten place value system and read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.
-
Multiply and divide multi-digit whole numbers and compute with decimals.
-
Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators.
-
Multiply and divide fractions and interpret fractions as division.
-
Convert measurement units, interpret data displays, and find volume.
-
Graph points in the first quadrant and classify quadrilaterals.

This diagnostic checks your readiness across all five Grade 5 math domains. It mirrors the emphasis of the NC End-of-Grade test, so most questions focus on fractions and decimals. Work carefully and show your thinking on scratch paper.
Two number patterns. Pattern A starts at 0 and adds 3. Pattern B starts at 0 and adds 9.
| Step | Pattern A | Pattern B | |---|---|---| | 1 | 0 | 0 | | 2 | 3 | 9 | | 3 | 6 | 18 | | 4 | 9 | 27 |
Assessment Questions
